Learning Out Loud
(Rainbows, Unicorns, and Muddy Puddles)
Professor Laura Ritchie
Three Questions:
• Who are you?
Describe something core to how you think or
act as a creative practitioner.
• What do you think of learning?
How would you define it? Categorise it?
• Is this what you do in your practice?
…and me?
• I believe in self-efficacy.
• Learning is something we do:
Co-learning & Connectivism
• I strive for an active, open, &
reflective practice.
Self-efficacy
confidence in
capabilities
Influenced by:
1. Accomplishment (mastery)
2. Observing (vicarious experience)
3. Verbal persuasion (feedback &
encouragement)
4. Physical signs (e.g. nerves)
Learning as doing:

Connectivism & Co-learning

“They see a person learning as a self-managed
and autonomous seeker of opportunities to
create, interact and have new experiences,
where learning is not the accumulation of
more and more facts or memories, but the
ongoing development of a richer and richer
neural tapestry.
They understand that the essential purpose
of education and teaching is not to produce
some set of core knowledge in a person, but
rather to create the conditions in which a
person can become an accomplished and
motivated learner in their own right.”
(Downes, 2017, p290)
Becoming professional?

“Start calling yourself a writer, start living
that life - all of it, because no one will give
you the permission to do it, unless you
accept it now on your own terms.
There is no measure for creative practice.”
(Ron Samul)

“…most people don’t allow
themselves to experiment with ideas,
because they assume that they have
to fit into the system.”
(Horton & Freire, 1990,p.44)
SKUNKWORKS
Innovation, Risk, & Academia?
Skunkworks principle:
• Small group environment where you’re freed of institutional
processes to experiment in order to reach a goal
• Controlled risk
• Rules?
Rules and processes exist to minimise variance
Image CC BY by Thomas Galvez
Learning?
• Where?
• When?
• How?
• With whom?
Do you do it?

We Can Create Space
“Well, in art as in everything else, one
can build only upon a resisting
foundation: whatever constantly gives
way to pressure, constantly renders
movement impossible.
My freedom consists in moving about
within the narrow frame that I have
assigned myself for each one of my
undertakings.”
(Stravinsky, 1970, p.65)

A Network of
Creative Practice

Souza-Cardoso (1897-1918) shared by Pedro Ribiero Simões
Why?
Goals?
for us & for our students
Yapnet
“A private space where you
can share unfinished work,
unvarnished ideas, or
unrealized projects for
feedback, perspective,
suggestions, and
encouragement from fresh,
knowledgeable eyes.”
#My100Days
https://yapnet.org/node/319
How did you learn?
Then & Now:
• Fast moving world – technology,
consumption, presentation
• Who is the audience?
• How do people engage?
• What are we preparing them for? – what
actual path can they take after time with us?
Proposed Learning
Bill of Rights
1. The capacity to know and
then
2. To reflect on experiences
without coercion,
3. The capacity to act, and
4. The capacity to have an
impact
(Downes, 2017, p.95)
Image CC BY by JD Hancock
Two final questions:
Is who/where you are now
where you thought you’d
be when you were the one
at university?
...as you are sitting at uni:
Where do you want to be
and how are you going to
get there?
“Openness is necessary because –as the saying goes
–you cannot see with your eyes closed.”
(Horton & Freire, 1990, p.145)

Editor's Notes

  1. “The other mistake is to crush freedom and to exacerbate the authority of the teacher. Then you no longer have freedom but now you have authoritarianism, and then the teacher is the one who teaches. The teacher is the one who knows. The teacher is the one who guides. The teacher is the one who does everything. And the students, precisely because the students must be shaped, just expose their bodies and their souls to the hands of the teacher, as if the students were clay for the artist, to be molded. The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to be­ come themselves. And in doing that, he or she lives the experience of relating democratically as authority with the freedom of the students.” -Paulo, p.181
  2. Yapnet is a community that aims to help people with the solitary, but intensely wonderful experience of creation. Welcome to YAPNET — a private space where you can share unfinished work or unvarnished ideas or unrealized projects for feedback and perspective and sugestions and encouragement. From fresh, knowledgeable eyes. We hope, too, that you'll occasionaly share finished work just for the heck of it or because you want ideas on what more to do with it. Or maybe you want to come here just to do your morning exercises by responding to someone else's work with a comment or a "sprout" — an idea triggered by someone else's work. Or, even, a writing exercise someone has created. Or maybe you just like helping others. This is not a new social media site. This is not a replacement for other commmunities to which you belong. This is a unique space, a response space. It operates on the theory or reciprocity — to get feedback, give feedback; and if you get feedback, say thanks. We have one rule that governs this site: respect. Show it. Believe it. Practice it. Try as we might, we have never found a behavior that isn't covered by that one word. A few defnitions are in order: We define artists as people who create. Your art can fall into any number of categories and genres and disciplines – from musicians and painters to writers and digital storytellers, from photographers and performers to educators and researchers.  So don't worry about the occupation you list on your tax forms, think about what it is you are creating and what kind of help you need and how you might gain by mingling with people in your circles -- or who see the world in different ways. And how you can help others.
  3. What were you prepared for and how does it compare to students today?
  4. Learning doesn’t end. The people who say it does made it up.
